Community Service

Community Service is the Fall 2015 special challenge path, introduced on August 15, 2015. Players may select this path in Valhalla, instead of a dietary challenge path. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads, "The ultimate in real-life time savings. All Council Quests are replaced with single button-clicks!"

The council is out:

The door to the Council of Loathing building is locked, and a notice is posted about how they got kicked off the council for not doing their mandatory community service, which is apparently a thing. There's a list of community service opportunities posted as well..

First time visiting:

The door to the Council of Loathing building is locked, and a notice is posted about how they got kicked off the council for not doing their mandatory community service, which is apparently a thing. There's a list of community service opportunities posted as well.

There might be a clever way of doing ordering the tasks (A Rose by Any Other Material only helps with Be a Living Statue, so maybe do that one last?). Note that the Rose saves more turns in the Statue task than the silver face paint does in the Border Collies task, so always do Border Collies before Statue.

Of the eleven rewards, nine confer effects that assist with other tasks, which also last one adventure only. These are recommended only after you've adventured at the Barrel full of barrels enough for one day with plenty of food and booze as a result. The other two (a ten-percent bonus and blood-drive sticker) can be used immediately.

Notes

While the rewards synergize well and allow you to complete the path faster, some of the rewards are quite valuable when sold in the mall, such as the blood-drive sticker, the emergency margarita, and the vintage smart drink. Players will often choose to not use some of these rewards, electing to keep and/or sell them instead.

The only reward that must be used is a ten-percent bonus, as it is a quest item and will be removed from inventory after you ascend.

In order to open up aftercore in the Community Service pathway, you must first click the button to Donate your body to science. When the next dialogue comes up asking you to confirm, DO NOT confirm. Instead change screens by clicking once of the toolbar icons, such as the main map. Note that areas unlocked by council quests will remain inaccessible, as described above.
